But I'm not processing EJB either! :)
Just a plain ol' bean class.

Ah ha!

Ok, I understand this, and realize that my example was slightly flawed
because of the forAllMethods confusing things. Sorry for that. Lets go
back to this:
<XDtMethod:ifHasMethod name="setValue">
without parameters
</XDtMethod:ifHasMethod>
<XDtMethod:ifHasMethod name="setValue" parameters="java.lang.String">
with parameters
</XDtMethod:ifHasMethod>
All I get generated is "with parameters". That is not what the
documentation says about ifHasMethod:
"Evaluate the body if current class has a method with the specified
name+parameters. If parameters not specified then any method with the given
name and any set of parameters is considered equal to the given method name
and so the test result is positive and the body is evaluated. This method
does not change the current method to the one specified."
Clearly I have a setValue method - so why doesn't the first ifHasMethod pick
it up? Shouldn't it?
I tried replacing the first 'ifHasMethod' with 'setCurrentMethod' and it
still did not get picked up.
*arg* - got a simple explanation for this one?! :)
